Three jolly husbands, out in tho country, by the names of Tim Watson, Joa Brown nnd Bill Walker, sat late, one even'ng, drinking at the village tavern, until, being pretty well corned, they agreed that each one, on returning home, should do the first thing that his wife told him, in del.iuit ol whii h he should, the next morning, pay the bill. They then separated for the night, engaging to meet again the next morning, and give an honest account of their proceed- ingi al home, so tar as they related to me bill. The next morning.

"Just as you my, Maggy,' said I, and without the least hesitation I put my foot in the pot of b-itter anil went to bed." Next, Joe Brown told his story : " Mv wife had already reined in our usual sleeping room which adjoing the kitchen, and the door of which was ajar ; not being able to navigate perfectly, you know, I made a dreadtul clattering among the household furniture, and my wife, in no very pleasant tone, bawled out : " ' Do break the porridge pot.'

Knickerbocker, Poor Farming: an Expensive: Easiness, The truth is, poor farming is an expen-' sive business. The cost exceeds tha in'-" como. If from a very low grade of farm, in", which must of course be unprofitable, , we ascend to, a belter condition of the art t we shall come to a point where is neither f loss nor gain ; the income equal the outgoes ; the ends meet ss they say.' 'And ' this, if we understand these matters, is the very condition in which nine-tenths oi our farming now is. ,.. . ',' : i, The farmer of a hundred acres puts on his farm, in his own labor, in the labor of his wife and his children, in tsxis, insn-' ranees,' Ao., 500. ' And he takes off in' some marketable produce or for borne con-.; sumption, f 500, ., "The ends meet," and, if there is no better way, he need not complain; for ho la working his way through the world as quietly and as easily as most-men j for the develop ment of high-moral qualities he hns the advantage of most oth- f ers; and what is more, he has the, best possible means of training his children to' those habiis of induttry and frugality which' ; more than conspire to make them good ; men nnd women and worthy citizens. Lei him not therefore, complain. We do not , believe that farming" is necessarily limitod to the operalion of putting on 500 and taking off 8600, and living by the opera- : lion only because what is mostly put on is mostly in the form of labor done by the family. If a farm will give 500, wiih the labor of one man, it will give a great deal more with the labor of two men ; and the excess will more than balance the wages stid board of the second. Instead of putting on 8500 and taking off 500, tho , better way is to put on $700 and lake off 8900 ; and then to put on 8900 and tt.l off $1200. There is doubtless a limit re-yond which the incomo could not be made d to increaso above the expenditures ; but. , very few of us aro in danger of going bc- ( yond the limit.

The Leader says : His frets papers he wrote himself, affixed to them the county seal, (which he also manufactured of lead) and, as they were examined at court, where- he happened to be, were declared valid. We have been shown the free papers, and must say they are most ingeniously contrived. By rub-bins them between his dusty and sooty hands, he trave them the appearance of ace. and bv this means several defects es caped a rigid scrutiny. His story 1 einven teu ceiore leaving ma urtouri, mm ov, pi.iu sible was, it that he was permitted, iu many cases to oass without showing his papers, lie is a tine looking man, valued oy uis mas ter at more than 452,000. An Item fok Ladies The ladies' dress in Greenland consists of a seal-skin stock- , ing, with the fur next to the foot, of such length as to reach to the knee. Over these is drawn a pair of seal skin boots, with the ' fur outside, so that the boot is in truth a seal skin of double thickness, with the fur 1. outside and inside, loo. The pantaloons r. are of seal fkin, something in the form of , old-fashioned knee-breeches. A jncket of seal skin, fur in-ide, fits closely to the " body. The outer habiliment is a loose ja- ' rah. of calico. Around tne necK is s ruu . of dog's fur, but underneath this is a white ; . or black handkerchief tied snug 10 me necs.

' The Bloom of Aok. A good woman never grows old. Years may pass over her head, but if benevolence and virtue dwell in her heart, she is as cheerful as when the spring of life first opened to her view. When we look upon a good woman we never think of her age ; sne looks as charming as when the roe of youth first bloomed on her cheek. That rose has not fade"d vet: it will never fade. In her neighborhood she is the friend nnd benefactor. Who does not respect and love the woman who has passed herdays in acts of kindness and mercy 7 We repeat, sucn a woman cannot grow old. bhe will always be fresh and buoyant in spirits, and Bciiva in humble deeds of mercy and benevolence. If the young lady desires to retain the bloom and beauty of youth, let her not yield to the sway of fashion and lolly ; let her love truth and virtue, and lo the close of life she will retain those feelings ihat now make life appear a garden of sweets ever fresh and ever new. f iT J.

Three jolly husbands, out in tho country, by the names of Tim Watson, Joa Brown nnd Bill Walker, sat late, one even'ng, drinking at the village tavern, until, being pretty well corned, they agreed that each one, on returning home, should do the first thing that his wife told him, in del.iuit ol whii h he should, the next morning, pay the bill. They then separated for the night, engaging to meet again the next morning, and give an honest account of their proceed- ingi al home, so tar as they related to me bill. The next morning. Walker and Brown werent their pnsta, but it was sometime before Watson made hia appearance.

My wife, who was dreadfully out of humor, said to me saicastically : "'Bill, do put your foot in the batter.' "Just as you my, Maggy,' said I, and without the least hesitation I put my foot in the pot of b-itter anil went to bed." Next, Joe Brown told his story : " Mv wife had already reined in our usual sleeping room which adjoing the kitchen, and the door of which was ajar ; not being able to navigate perfectly, you know, I made a dreadtul clattering among the household furniture, and my wife, in no very pleasant tone, bawled out : " ' Do break the porridge pot.'

Knickerbocker, Poor Farming: an Expensive: Easiness, The truth is, poor farming is an expen-' sive business. The cost exceeds tha in'-" como. If from a very low grade of farm, in", which must of course be unprofitable, , we ascend to, a belter condition of the art t we shall come to a point where is neither f loss nor gain ; the income equal the outgoes ; the ends meet ss they say.' 'And ' this, if we understand these matters, is the very condition in which nine-tenths oi our farming now is. ,.. . ',' : i, The farmer of a hundred acres puts on his farm, in his own labor, in the labor of his wife and his children, in tsxis, insn-' ranees,' Ao., 500. ' And he takes off in' some marketable produce or for borne con-.; sumption, f 500, ., "The ends meet," and, if there is no better way, he need not complain; for ho la working his way through the world as quietly and as easily as most-men j for the develop ment of high-moral qualities he hns the advantage of most oth- f ers; and what is more, he has the, best possible means of training his children to' those habiis of induttry and frugality which' ; more than conspire to make them good ; men nnd women and worthy citizens. Lei him not therefore, complain. We do not , believe that farming" is necessarily limitod to the operalion of putting on 500 and taking off 8600, and living by the opera- : lion only because what is mostly put on is mostly in the form of labor done by the family. If a farm will give 500, wiih the labor of one man, it will give a great deal more with the labor of two men ; and the excess will more than balance the wages stid board of the second. Instead of putting on 8500 and taking off 500, tho , better way is to put on $700 and lake off 8900 ; and then to put on 8900 and tt.l off $1200. There is doubtless a limit re-yond which the incomo could not be made d to increaso above the expenditures ; but. , very few of us aro in danger of going bc- ( yond the limit.

He tried to accumulate money to help him to run off' bump to the 1st of September last, had only scraped together $2; His mastei tasked him too hard, and he concluded lo try his fortune again, and after traveling leas than ono hundred miles by highways and byways, stopped and worked for money, and tben came along. The Leader says : His frets papers he wrote himself, affixed to them the county seal, (which he also manufactured of lead) and, as they were examined at court, where- he happened to be, were declared valid. We have been shown the free papers, and must say they are most ingeniously contrived.

' The Bloom of Aok. A good woman never grows old. Years may pass over her head, but if benevolence and virtue dwell in her heart, she is as cheerful as when the spring of life first opened to her view. When we look upon a good woman we never think of her age ; sne looks as charming as when the roe of youth first bloomed on her cheek. That rose has not fade"d vet: it will never fade. In her neighborhood she is the friend nnd benefactor. Who does not respect and love the woman who has passed herdays in acts of kindness and mercy 7 We repeat, sucn a woman cannot grow old. bhe will always be fresh and buoyant in spirits, and Bciiva in humble deeds of mercy and benevolence. If the young lady desires to retain the bloom and beauty of youth, let her not yield to the sway of fashion and lolly ; let her love truth and virtue, and lo the close of life she will retain those feelings ihat now make life appear a garden of sweets ever fresh and ever new. f iT J.
